City Hotel Matyas

After reading the other reviews, I felt I had to write my own. This hotel is in a great location, lots of things within walking distance. It was a bit strange that our rooms were right by the entrance, before reception, but not a problem. The rooms were perfectly fine with air conditioning , clean and a great shower with plenty of hot water. There were lots of stairs to breakfast but the lift worked fine, breakfast was your typical continental assortment and good. The staff were very friendly and helpful too. Would recommend.

The hotel is almost derelict in places. Stairwells badly lit, dirty, and broken glass on the stairs in places, with badly maintained railings. Lifts kept breaking down and the breakfast room was on the 4th floor, overcrowded and the selection was unappealing with bruised and over ripe fruit, eggs that were overcooked and stale salami. No proper restaurant, no bar, no milk for the tea tray in the room. Their website shows lovely toiletries, but there was only soap dispensers. The only thing going for this hotel is location. It needs major refurbishment before it should be used as a hotel.

Solo trip, safe hotel, decent breakfast (amazing coffee!). The 100E bus from the airport will drop you off about a 10-15min walk away (all flat). The hotel itself is a little dated, but i was only there to rest and get ready for the day! So close to the ruin bar Szimpla Kert, shops, restuarants and 1 tram stop away to Market Hall. The tram is about 1 min walk from the hotel, with only a couple of stops and you are at the Parliament or to get the bus or Metro. A really good location for Budapest.
